um, ok. now that you have devolved into the realm of personal insults…. It seems to me that you have now lost track of the actual conversation (and as a result, lost the argument).
I am not going to insult you or do something as inane as that. What I am going to offer is some advice: step back, calm down and take a chill pill. Now, I believe the original intent of this thread was to point out the NFB resolution and how apple and their accessibility figure into this? can we get back on topic? -eric On Aug 25, 2016, at 12:29 PM, Mário Navarro wrote: > > sorry, but I'm not your doctor ... > but I can see perfectly well that you need to change your medication. > > Às 19:01 de 25/08/2016, Dave Mitchel escreveu: >> excuse me? what do you mean by this statement? be careful what I write? >> would you explain this to myself and others on the list? >> I will take into consideration that you may not understand this sort of >> thing could be perceived as a threat. so now please let me know what and how >> this was meant. >> >> >> -----Original Message----- From: Mário Navarro >> Sent: Thursday, August 25, 2016 10:28 AM >> To: [email protected] >> Subject: Re: nfb RESOLUTION [WAS "Re: Let's Play "King of the Mountain""] >> >> >> >> >> david, be careful what you write ... >> it's just a advice ... >> >> >> Às 17:46 de 25/08/2016, Dave Mitchel escreveu: >>> you have no idea what others have done for themselves and for the blind >>> community. stop your gushing and learn when it is best to keep your mouth >>> shut. >>> >>> Dave >>> >>> >>> -----Original Message----- From: Mário Navarro >>> Sent: Thursday, August 25, 2016 9:08 AM >>> To: [email protected] >>> Subject: Re: nfb RESOLUTION [WAS "Re: Let's Play "King of the Mountain""] >>> >>> >>> >>> >>> you are of those only has intelligence to criticize what others do for >>> you ... >>> You should criticize less and work more for the cause of the blind and >>> accessibility. >>> instead, you are those who are always waiting for others to do for you. >>> NFB never done anything for you? >>> read this and learn. >>> >>> https://nfb.org/2016-resolutions >>> >>> Às 16:46 de 25/08/2016, Mary Otten escreveu: >>>> Two years in a row, and if he has had resolutions which specifically >>>> called out Apple.
